Stailized Approach

Question 1

Irrespective ​ of ​ the ​ prevailing ​ environmental​ ​ conditions, ​ all ​approaches shall​ be stabilized​ by:

Answer 1

a.​ ​ 1000​ ​ ft ​ above ​ airport​ ​ elevation ​ for​ ​ all​ ​ instrument​ ​approaches.​ ​
b.​ ​ 500 ft above​ airport elevation for a visual​ approach.​

Question 2

1 Stabilized Approach Criteria

Answer 2

1.​ ​ The aircraft​ is​ on​ the correct lateral​ and​ vertical​ flight path;​

Question 3

2 Stabilized approach criteria

Answer 3

2.​ ​ Only​ ​ small​ ​ changes ​ in​ ​ heading​ ​ and​ ​ pitch ​ are ​ required ​ to​ ​maintain​ ​ correct​ flight​ path;​ ​

Question 4

3 Stabilized approach criteria

Answer 4

3 The aircraft speed is not lower​ than​ VAPP​ - 5kts or not greater ​than VAPP​ + 10kts.

Question 5

4 Stabilized approach criteria

Answer 5

4.​ ​ The aircraft is in the correct landing configuration;

Question 6

5 Stabilized Approach Criteria​

Answer 6

5 Rate of​ ​ decent​ ​ is​ ​ not​ greater​ ​ than​ ​ 1000 ​ fpm.​ ​ If​ ​ an approach​ ​requires ​ a​ ​ rate​ ​ of ​ decent​ ​ greater​ ​ than​ ​ 1000​ ​ fpm, ​ a ​ special​ ​briefing​ shall​ be​ conducted;

Question 7

6 Stabilized Approach Criteria

Answer 7

6.​ ​ Thrust setting​ is​ appropriate​ for​ the aircraft configuration

Question 8

7 Stabilized Approach Criteria

Answer 8

7.​ ​ All​ briefings and check lists have been completed;

Question 9

8 Stabilized Approach Criteria

Answer 9

8.​ ​ All​ types of​ approaches need to fulfil​ the deviation​ limit criteria​ ​given​ in​ the​ relevant aircraft​ type​ FCOM/FCTM for​ lateral and​ ​vertical​ deviation, Instrument​ landing​ system (ILS)​ approaches​ ​must be flown within one dot of​ the glide slope and​ localizer; A ​category​ II or​ Category​ III​ ILS​ approach must be flown within​ the​ ​expanded​ localizer​ band.​

Question 10

9 Stabilized Approach Criteria

Answer 10

9.​ ​ 360°​ ​ turns​ ​ below​ ​ MSA​ ​ are​ ​ prohibited​ ​ in ​ the​ ​ final ​ approach​ ​phase.

Question 11

10 Stabilized Approach Criteria

Answer 11

10.​ ​ Unique approach procedures​ or abnormal​ conditions requiring ​a​ deviation from the​ above​ elements of a​ stabilized​ approach​ ​require​ ​ a​ special​ briefing.
